At a time when people forced to stay at home by the coronavirus pandemic are relying heavily on food-delivery services, workers for groceries-to-your-door company Instacart say they’ll walk off the job Monday if they don’t get hazard pay and personal-safety products.

“They are profiting astronomically off of us literally risking our lives,” said a group that has said they represent thousands of the company’s “shoppers” who pick up groceries at stores and deliver them to people’s doors.
